Rock Me Now lyrics

The town where she was born

Like town where I was born

Was built by white settlers seeking gold and other treasures

Like me she feels uncomfortable in the clothing of her ancestors

"It's not easy" she would say

Putting her fingers in the ashtray

"It's not easy to erase your blood"

Rock me now

Hmm, sing with me

In the arms of cobwebs

Roll me out

In the arms of cobwebs

Once she found a man to treasure

And together they'd planted flowers of warning, fearing frost

Late on shallow evenings while their enemies slept

They hammered the soil asking for answers in green

His value declined when he offered his name

Why did he offer it

His value declined

Ah ah ah ah ah

When he offered his name

Ah ah ah ah ah

His value declined

Ah ah ah ah ah

When he offered his name

Ah ah ah ah ah

When she was seven years old she saw a man get shot but

No one came along for a long time because it happened in a remote parking lot in Las Vegas

And she was waiting for her mom to come back from working the blackjack table at the Circus Circus casino

And that night her mom said that the two of them and the now dead guy

Were the only 3 people who ever lived in Las Vegas.

Everybody else just arrived, ate their complimentary shrimp cocktails, and left

Rock me now

In the arms of cobwebs

It's a one room city, yeah

It's a one room city, yeah

So can you roll with me

Roll me out

In the arms of cobwebs

It's a one room city, yeah

His value declined

Ah ah ah ah ah

When he offered his name.

Ah ah ah ah ah

It's a one room city, yeah

It's a one room city

The wall to wall to wall to wall to wall

Goes to street to street to street
